Commentary
For we are saved by hope--rather, "For in hope we are saved"; that is, it is more a salvation in hope than as yet in actual possession. but hope that is seen is not hope--for the very meaning of hope is, the expectation that something now future will become present. for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?--the latter ending when the other comes.
